1 A nd He said to them, “Assuredly, I say to you that there are some standing here who will not taste death till they see the kingdom of God present with power.” Jesus Transfigured on the Mount

ثُمَّ قالَ لَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ: إنَّ مِنْ بَينِ الواقِفِينَ هُنا أشخاصاً لَنْ يَذُوقُوا المَوتَ قَبلَ أنْ يَرَوا مَلَكوتَ اللهِ آتِياً بِقُوَّةٍ.» يَسُوعُ وَمَعَهُ مُوسَى وَإيلِيّا

2 N ow after six days Jesus took Peter, James, and John, and led them up on a high mountain apart by themselves; and He was transfigured before them.

وَبَعْدَ سِتَّةِ أيّامٍ، أخَذَ يَسُوعُ بُطرُسَ وَيَعقُوبَ وَيُوحَنّا إلَى جَبَلٍ مُرتَفِعٍ وَحْدَهُمْ، وَغَيَّرَ هَيئَتَهُ أمامَهُمْ.

3 H is clothes became shining, exceedingly white, like snow, such as no launderer on earth can whiten them.

فَصارَتْ ثِيابُهُ مُشِعَّةً، وَناصِعَةَ البَياضِ. حَتَّىْ إنَّهُ لا يُمكِنُ لأيِّ قَصّارٍ عَلَى الأرْضِ أنْ يُبَيِّضَ هَكَذا!

4 A nd Elijah appeared to them with Moses, and they were talking with Jesus.

وَظَهَرَ لَهُمْ إيلِيّا مَعَ مُوسَى، وَكانا يَتَحَدَّثانِ مَعَ يَسُوعَ.

5 T hen Peter answered and said to Jesus, “Rabbi, it is good for us to be here; and let us make three tabernacles: one for You, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”—

فقالَ بُطرُسُ لِيَسُوعَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، ما أجمَلَ أنْ نَكُونَ هُنا! فَلنَنصُبْ ثَلاثَ خَيماتٍ، واحِدَةً لَكَ، وَواحِدَةً لِمُوسَى، وَواحِدَةً لإيلِيّا.»

6 b ecause he did not know what to say, for they were greatly afraid.

وَلَمْ يَكُنْ يَعرِفْ ما الَّذِي يَقُولُهُ، فَقَدْ كانُوا خائِفِينَ.

7 A nd a cloud came and overshadowed them; and a voice came out of the cloud, saying, “This is My beloved Son. Hear Him!”

ثُمَّ جاءَتْ غَيمَةٌ وَغَطَّتْهُمْ، وَجاءَ صَوتٌ مِنَ الغَيمَةِ يَقولُ: «هَذا هُوَ ابْنِي حَبيبيْ، فَأصغُوا إلَيهِ.»

8 S uddenly, when they had looked around, they saw no one anymore, but only Jesus with themselves.

وَفَجأةً، نَظَروا حَولَهُمْ، فَلَمْ يَرَوا مَعَهُمْ إلّا يَسُوعَ وَحدَهُ.

9 N ow as they came down from the mountain, He commanded them that they should tell no one the things they had seen, till the Son of Man had risen from the dead.

وَبَينَما هُمْ يَنزِلُونَ مِنَ الجَبَلِ، أمَرَهُمْ يَسُوعُ وَقالَ: «لا تُخبِرُوا أحَداً بِهَذِهِ الرُؤيا، إلَى أنْ يُقامَ ابْنُ الإنسانِ مِنَ المَوتِ.»

10 S o they kept this word to themselves, questioning what the rising from the dead meant.

فَحَفِظُوا الأمرَ بَينَهُمْ، وَكانُوا يَتَحَدَّثونَ عَنْ مَعنَى القِيامَةِ مِنَ المَوتِ.

11 A nd they asked Him, saying, “Why do the scribes say that Elijah must come first?”

فَسَألُوهُ: «لِماذا يَقُولُ مُعَلِّمُو الشَّرِيعَةِ إنَّ إيلِيّا يَنبَغي أنْ يَأتِيَ أوَّلاً؟»

12 T hen He answered and told them, “Indeed, Elijah is coming first and restores all things. And how is it written concerning the Son of Man, that He must suffer many things and be treated with contempt?

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «هُمْ مُصيبُونَ بِقَولِهِمْ إنَّ إيلِيّا يَنبَغي أنْ يَأتيَ أوَّلاً، فَهوَ يَرُدُّ كُلَّ شَيءٍ إلَى أصلِهِ. وَلَكِنْ كُتِبَ أيضاً عَنِ ابْنِ الإنسانِ أنَّهُ سَيَتَألَّمُ كَثِيراً وَيُرفَضُ.

13 B ut I say to you that Elijah has also come, and they did to him whatever they wished, as it is written of him.” A Boy Is Healed

أقُولُ لَكُمْ إنَّ إيلِيّا قَدْ جاءَ، وَعامَلُوهُ كَما يُرِيدُونَ، تَماماً كَما كُتِبَ عَنْهُ.» يَسُوعُ يُخرِجُ رُوحاً شِرِّيراً مِنْ صَبِيٍّ

14 A nd when He came to the disciples, He saw a great multitude around them, and scribes disputing with them.

وَعِندَما وَصَلُوا إلَى بَقِيَّةِ التَّلامِيذِ، شاهَدُوا جَمْعاً كَبِيراً مِنَ النّاسِ حَولَهُمْ، وَكانَ مُعَلِّمُوا الشَّرِيعَةِ يُجادِلُونَهُمْ.

15 I mmediately, when they saw Him, all the people were greatly amazed, and running to Him, greeted Him.

وَحالَما رَآهُ النّاسُ امتَلأوا دَهشَةً وَأسْرَعُوا لِيُسَلِّمُوا عَلَيهِ.

16 A nd He asked the scribes, “What are you discussing with them?”

فَسَألَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «ما الَّذِي تَتَجادَلُونَ فِيهِ مَعَهُمْ؟»

17 T hen one of the crowd answered and said, “Teacher, I brought You my son, who has a mute spirit.

فَأجابَهُ رَجُلٌ كانَ هُناكَ: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، لَقَدْ أحضَرْتُ ابْنِي إلَيكَ، لأنَّهُ مَسكُونٌ بِرُوحٍ شِرِّيرٍ يُخرِسُهُ.

18 A nd wherever it seizes him, it throws him down; he foams at the mouth, gnashes his teeth, and becomes rigid. So I spoke to Your disciples, that they should cast it out, but they could not.”

وَحينَ يُسَيطِرُ عَليهِ، يُلْقيَهُ أرْضاً، ثُمَّ يَزبدُ وَيَصُرُّ عَلَى أسنانِهِ وَيَتَشَنَّجُ. وَقَدْ طَلَبْتُ مِنْ تَلامِيذِكَ أنْ يُخرِجُوهُ فَلَمْ يَقْدِرُوا.

19 H e answered him and said, “O faithless generation, how long shall I be with you? How long shall I bear with you? Bring him to Me.”

فَقالَ يَسُوعُ: «أيُّها الجَيلُ غَيْرُ المُؤمِنِ، إلَى مَتَى أكُونُ مَعَكُمْ، إلَى مَتَى أحتَمِلُكُمْ؟» ثُمَّ قالَ للرَجُلِ: «أحضِرِ ابنَكَ إلَيَّ.»

20 T hen they brought him to Him. And when he saw Him, immediately the spirit convulsed him, and he fell on the ground and wallowed, foaming at the mouth.

فَأحضَروا الصَّبِيِّ إلَيهِ. فَلَمّا رَأى الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ يَسُوعَ، أدخَلَ الصَّبِيَّ فِي نَوبَةِ تَشَنُّجاتٍ، وَألقاهُ أرْضاً. فَكانَ الصَّبِيُّ يَتَقَلَّبُ وَيُزْبِدُ.

21 S o He asked his father, “How long has this been happening to him?” And he said, “From childhood.

فَسَألَ يَسُوعُ وَالِدَ الصَّبِيِّ: «مُنذُ مَتَى وَهُوَ عَلَى هَذِهِ الحالِ؟» فَأجابَ: «مُنْذُ طُفُولَتِهِ.

22 A nd often he has thrown him both into the fire and into the water to destroy him. But if You can do anything, have compassion on us and help us.”

وَكَثِيراً ما كانَ هَذا الرُّوحُ يُلقِيهِ فِي النّارِ أوْ فِي الماءِ لِيَقتُلَهُ. فَإنْ كُنتَ تَستَطِيعُ أنْ تَفعَلَ شَيئاً، فَارحَمْ حالَنا وَساعِدْنا.»

23 J esus said to him, “If you can believe, all things are possible to him who believes.”

فَقالَ لَهُ يَسُوعُ: «لِماذا تَقُولُ: ‹إنْ كُنْتُ أستَطيعُ›؟ فَكُلُّ شَيءٍ مُستَطاعٌ لِمَنْ يُؤمِنُ.»

24 I mmediately the father of the child cried out and said with tears, “Lord, I believe; help my unbelief!”

فَصَرَخَ وَالِدُ الصَّبِيِّ وَقالَ: «أنا أُومِنُ، فَساعِدْنِي لِكَيْ يَقَوَى إيمانيَ الضَّعيفُ.»

25 W hen Jesus saw that the people came running together, He rebuked the unclean spirit, saying to it: “Deaf and dumb spirit, I command you, come out of him and enter him no more!”

وَلَمّا رَأى يَسُوعَ أنَّ أعدادَ النّاسِ تَتَكاثَرُ، انتَهَرَ الرُّوحَ النَّجِسَ، وَقالَ لَهُ: «يا أيُّها الرُّوحُ الَّذِي أخرَسَتَ هَذا الصَّبِيَّ وَأغلَقْتَ أُذُنَيهِ، أنا آمُرُكَ بِأنْ تَخرُجَ مِنْهُ، وَلا تَرجِعَ إلَيهِ ثانِيَةً.»

26 T hen the spirit cried out, convulsed him greatly, and came out of him. And he became as one dead, so that many said, “He is dead.”

فَصَرَخَ الرُّوحُ الشِّرِّيرُ وَأدخَلَ الصَّبِيَّ فِي نَوبَةٍ، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ مِنْهُ. فَصارَ الصَّبِيُّ كَأنَّهُ مَيِّتٌ، حَتَّى إنَّ كَثيرينَ قالُوا إنَّهُ ماتَ.

27 B ut Jesus took him by the hand and lifted him up, and he arose.

أمّا يَسُوعُ فَأمسَكَ بِيَدِهِ وَأنهَضَهُ، فَوَقَفَ الصَّبِيُّ.

28 A nd when He had come into the house, His disciples asked Him privately, “Why could we not cast it out?”

وَبَعْدَ أنْ دَخَلَ يَسُوعُ إلَى البَيتِ، سَألَهُ تَلامِيذُهُ عَلَى انفِرادٍ: «لِماذا لَمْ نَستَطِعْ نَحنُ إخراجَهُ؟»

29 S o He said to them, “This kind can come out by nothing but prayer and fasting.” Jesus Again Predicts His Death and Resurrection

فَقالَ لَهُمْ: «هَذا النَّوعُ لا يَخرُجُ إلّا بِالصَّلاةِ.» يَسُوعُ يُنبِئُ بِمَوتِهِ وَقِيامَتِه

30 T hen they departed from there and passed through Galilee, and He did not want anyone to know it.

وَانطَلَقُوا مِنْ هُناكَ وَابتَدَأُوا رِحلَتَهُمْ عَبْرَ إقليمِ الجَلِيلِ. وَلَمْ يُرِدْ يَسُوعُ أنْ يَعرِفَ أحَدٌ مَكانَهُ،

31 F or He taught His disciples and said to them, “The Son of Man is being betrayed into the hands of men, and they will kill Him. And after He is killed, He will rise the third day.”

بَلْ أرادَ أنْ يَكونَ مَعَ تَلامِيذَهُ لِيُعَلِّمَهُمْ. فَكانَ يَقُولُ لَهُمْ: «سَيُوضَعُ ابنُ الإنسانِ تَحتَ سُلطانِ البَشَرِ. وَسَيَقتُلُونَهُ. وَلَكِنَّهُ، بَعْدَ أنْ يُقتَلَ، سَيَقُومُ فِي اليَومِ الثّالِثِ مِنَ المَوتِ.»

32 B ut they did not understand this saying, and were afraid to ask Him. Who Is the Greatest?

لَكِنَّهُمْ لَمْ يَفهَمُوا كَلامَهُ. وَخافُوا أنْ يَسألُوهُ عَنْ مَعناهُ. مَنِ الأعظَم

33 T hen He came to Capernaum. And when He was in the house He asked them, “What was it you disputed among yourselves on the road?”

وَبَعْدَ هَذا جاءُوا إلَى كَفْرِناحُومَ. فَلَمّا اجتَمَعُوا فِي البَيتِ، سَألَهُمْ يَسُوعُ: «عَمّا كُنْتُمْ تَتَجادَلونَ فِي الطَّرِيقِ.»

34 B ut they kept silent, for on the road they had disputed among themselves who would be the greatest.

فَلَمْ يُجِبْهُ التَّلامِيذُ بِشَيءٍ، لِأنَّهُمْ كانُوا يَتَجادَلُونَ حَولَ مَنْ هُوَ الأعظَمُ بَينَهُمْ.

35 A nd He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, “If anyone desires to be first, he shall be last of all and servant of all.”

فَجَلَسَ يَسُوعُ، وَدَعا الاثْني عَشَرَ إلَيهِ وَقالَ لَهُمْ: «مَنْ أرادَ مِنْكُمْ أنْ يَكُونَ الأوَّلَ، فَيَنبَغي أنْ يَكُونَ آخِرَ الكُلِّ، وَخادِمَ الكُلِّ.»

36 T hen He took a little child and set him in the midst of them. And when He had taken him in His arms, He said to them,

ثُمَّ دَعا يَسُوعُ طِفلاً، وَأوقَفَهُ أمامَهُمْ وَاحتَضَنَهُ وَقالَ:

37 “ Whoever receives one of these little children in My name receives Me; and whoever receives Me, receives not Me but Him who sent Me.” Jesus Forbids Sectarianism

«مَنْ يَقبَلُ طِفلاً كَهَذا باسمِي فَإنَّما يَقبَلُني، وَمَنْ يَقبَلُني فَإنَّما يَقبَلُ الَّذي أرسَلَنِي أيضاً.» مَنْ لَيسَ ضِدَّنا فَهُوَ مَعَنا

38 N ow John answered Him, saying, “Teacher, we saw someone who does not follow us casting out demons in Your name, and we forbade him because he does not follow us.”

وَقالَ لَهُ يُوحَنّا: «يا مُعَلِّمُ، رَأينا رَجُلاً يَطرُدُ الأرواحَ الشِّرِّيْرَةَ باسْمِكَ، فَحاوَلْنا أنْ نَمنَعَهُ لِأنَّهُ لَيْسَ مِنّا.»

39 B ut Jesus said, “Do not forbid him, for no one who works a miracle in My name can soon afterward speak evil of Me.

فَقالَ يَسُوعَ: «لا تَمْنَعوهُ. فَمَنْ يَصنَعُ مُعجِزَةً باسمي، لا يُمْكِنَهُ أنْ يُسيئَ إلَيَّ بِهَذِهِ السُّرعَةِ.

40 F or he who is not against us is on our side.

لِأنَّ الَّذِي لَيسَ ضِدَّنا هُوَ مَعَنا.

41 F or whoever gives you a cup of water to drink in My name, because you belong to Christ, assuredly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward. Jesus Warns of Offenses

أقُولُ لَكُمُ الحَقَّ، إنَّ مَنْ يَسقِيكُمْ كَأسَ ماءٍ لِأنَّكُمْ لِلمَسِيحِ، فَلَنْ يُحرَمَ مِنْ مُكافَأتَهُ.» تَحذيرٌ مِنَ العَثَرات

42 “ But whoever causes one of these little ones who believe in Me to stumble, it would be better for him if a millstone were hung around his neck, and he were thrown into the sea.

«أمّا مَنْ يُعثِرُ أحَدَ هَؤُلاءِ الصِّغارِ المُؤْمِنِينَ بِي، فَسَيَكُونُ أفضَلَ لَهُ لَو أنَّ حَجَرَ رَحَىً وُضِعَ حَولَ رَقَبَتِهِ، وَأُلقِيَ بِهِ فِي البَحرِ.

43 I f your hand causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter into life maimed, rather than having two hands, to go to hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—

فَإنْ كانَتْ يَدُكَ تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، اقْطَعْها. لِأنَّهُ خَيرٌ لَكَ أنْ تَدخُلَ الحَياةَ بِيَدٍ واحِدَةٍ، مِنْ أنْ تَكونَ لَكَ يَدانِ اثْنَتانِ، وَتَدخُلَ جُهَنَّمَ، حَيثُ لا تُطْفَأُ النّارُ.

44 w here ‘Their worm does not die And the fire is not quenched.’

بَلْ حَيثُ الدُّودُ لا يَمُوتُ، وَالنّارُ لا تُطفَأُ.

45 A nd if your foot causes you to sin, cut it off. It is better for you to enter life lame, rather than having two feet, to be cast into hell, into the fire that shall never be quenched—

وَإنْ كانَتْ قَدَمُكَ تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، اقطَعْها. لِأنَّهُ خَيرٌ لَكَ أنْ تَدخُلَ الحَياةَ بِقَدَمٍ واحِدَةٍ، مِنْ أنْ تَكونَ لَكَ قَدَمانِ اثْنَتانِ، وَتُطْرَحَ فِيْ جُهَنَّمَ،

46 w here ‘Their worm does not die, And the fire is not quenched.’

حَيثُ الدُّودُ لا يَمُوتُ، وَالنّارُ لا تُطفَأُ.

47 A nd if your eye causes you to sin, pluck it out. It is better for you to enter the kingdom of God with one eye, rather than having two eyes, to be cast into hell fire—

وَإنْ كانَتْ عَينُكَ تَدفَعُكَ إلَى الخَطِيَّةِ، فَاقلَعْها. لِأنَّهُ خَيرٌ لَكَ أنْ تَدخُلَ مَلَكوتَ اللهِ بِعَينٍ واحِدَةٍ، مِنْ أنْ تَكونَ لَكَ عَينانِ اثْنَتانِ، وَتُطْرَحَ فِيْ جُهَنَّمَ،

حَيثُ الدُّودُ لا يَمُوتُ، وَالنّارُ لا تُطفَأُ.

49 “ For everyone will be seasoned with fire, and every sacrifice will be seasoned with salt.

«لِأنَّ كُلَّ إنسانٍ سَيُمَلَّحُ بِالنّارِ.

50 S alt is good, but if the salt loses its flavor, how will you season it? Have salt in yourselves, and have peace with one another.”

لِأنَّ المِلْحَ جَيِّدٌ. فَإنْ فَقَدَ المِلْحُ مُلُوحَتَهُ، بِماذا تُصلِحُونَهُ؟ فَلْيَكُنْ لَكُمْ فِي نُفوسِكُمْ مِلْحٌ، وَعيشوا فِي سَلامٍ بَعضُكُمْ مَعَ بَعْضٍ.»
